Great stuff... I've always been fascinated by statues like this.
Right now I'm trying to imagine how hard it would be to produce something like that.
Meanwhile, Did you know that thousands of "Greek/Roman" statues have been melted down to produce lime by the Turks? (A long time ago, and the Greeks did this as well)
Also... The British ground up Egyptian mummies and sold the remains as a "medical preparation". It was called "Mumia"
